Following Harriet's dramatic return home, Flavia de Luce finds herself expelled from the familiar confines of Bishop's Lacey and her beloved family home, Buckshaw, and 'packed off', as she puts it. to Miss Bodycote's Female Academy in Canada - her mother's old boarding school. With its forbidding headmistress, intimidating teachers (one of whom is a convicted murderess) and bizarre rules, adapting to Miss Bodycote's is quite a challenge.

And the mystery of the withered corpse is only the beginning.
